Chapter 5: SCP-2287 "Mr. Headless"

Here we see you getting up in the morning and you get to make breakfast in the form of pancakes and bacon.

(Y/N): "Man, today is gonna be a great day and I just know it. But I wonder who Dr. Wondertainment is."

Once you finished eating breakfast you opened the door and you saw Clover about to knock on your door.

(Y/N): "Oh hey Clover, I was about to head to work. What's up?"

Clover: "Just checking up on you, you seem a bit secretive lately."

(Y/N): "Yeah I don't really talk about work, I thought it might bore you, cause taking pizza can be good for a while until you get bored or hungry."

Clover: "Good point, you don't want to talk about work when you're with friends. I'll leave ya out of your hair."

(Y/N): "Thanks."

Sometime later, you arrive at the Foundation and you head to Dr. Collingwood's office and you see her.

Dr. Collingwood: "(Y/N), great to see you again. Are you ready for you to meet today's SCP?"

(Y/N): "I'm ready for the day and the SCP, Dr. Collingwood."

Dr. Collingwood: "Alright now before you get started on the SCP, let's go over its manufacturer first."

(Y/N): "Oh yeah, Dr. Buck said that I'll be expecting to meet an SCP made from Dr. Wondertainment. So what or who is Dr.Wondertainment?"

Dr. Collingwood: "Dr. Wondertainment is a company run by either a man, woman, or a group of people that makes toys with anomalous properties. They hate it when the SCP Foundation nab their toys and do research on them because that will ruin the magic of those toys."

(Y/N): "Woah cool."

Dr. Collingwood: "I knew you would say that, I have a feeling that your best work is with the Dr. Wondertainment line of SCPs."

(Y/N): "So which SCP am I dealing with today?"

Dr. Collingwood: "You're dealing with SCP-2287 aka Mr. Headless and he's a limited edition toy from a line of toys called Little Misters, there are 20 of them."

(Y/N): "Wow, so what does Mr. Headless do?"

Dr. Collingwood: "Well if you don't wear glasses when talking to him, you will believe your head is gone as well."

(Y/N): "Good thing I keep these handy."*puts on glasses*"Alrighty then, wish me luck."

Dr. Collingwood: "Okay I'll take you to him."

You then follow Dr. Collingwood to SCP-2287's cell and Dr. Collingwood let you into the cell and you see SCP-2287 aka Mr. Headless.

(Y/N): "Woah, you're headless and yet you're still standing."

Mr. Headless: "Who are you calling Headless? Headless!?"

(Y/N): "I'm not headless, you are."

Mr. Headless: "I know, my jokes don't have that freakout effect on people when they're wearing glasses."

(Y/N): "Sorry, I thought I needed them to have a conversation with you. These are my everyday glasses but I can still see fine without them."

Mr. Headless: "Okay then, so what brings you here?"

(Y/N): "I want to get to know you better. Like what you can do and what was your life like prior to containment."

Mr. Headless: "Well I can't see but I can smell and hear, I can't breathe or eat it's like an amplified photosynthesis thing."

(Y/N): "I see, what do you have for proof of a creation of Dr. Wondertainment?"

Mr. Headless: "Just the tattoo on me."

(Y/N): "Where is it?"

Mr. Headless: "On my back, take a peak."

Mr. Headless then take off his shirt and show you his tattoo on his back.

(Y/N): *read the tattoo*"Mr. Headless, from Little Misters ® by Dr. Wondertainment."*stops reading*"Yep definitely a Dr. Wondertainment toy."

Mr. Headless: *puts his shirt back on*"Yep."

(Y/N): "And I see that the neck stump is covered in skin so that's a plus. Now then, let's get this interview started, what do you know about Dr. Wondertainment?"

Mr. Headless: "Well to be honest I didn't actually see him since I'm blind but I did sense a presence of her."

(Y/N): "Wait you referred Dr. Wondertainment as a guy and a gal, which is it?"

Mr. Headless: "What do you mean, I don't understand. Are you talking about Dr. Wondertainment the actual person?"

(Y/N): "Uh moving on, so what's your purpose?"

Mr. Headless: "I'm a Halloween Special, Dr. Wondertainment's Mr. Headless spooky Halloween fun for the whole family!"

(Y/N): "And you see yourself as scary?"

Mr. Headless: "I see myself as someone who brings surprise and excitement. When they get scared, that means I'm doing a good job. Although, well, it's been getting harder lately: the Doctor's a one-man operation, and she doesn't realize — or didn't realize? — how many kids wear glasses these days, and whenever I live through a year like this, with cameras and stuff like that, the effect is pretty much ruined. I mean, yes, I'm still scary Mister Headless, spooky Halloween fun for the whole family!, but it doesn't seem to be as much fun for the people when they don't get to be headless with me."

(Y/N): "I see, so what about your previous owners? Back in Wisconsin, where we found you."

Mr. Headless: "Where you found me? Well, I spent a few years there with this family — I think by that point they were consecutive years, but I couldn't swear to that... I do know that some of them were for sure years I hadn't lived in before — you know how a year always feels weird the first time around, right? They mostly felt like that. Anyway, so the family I was with, they mostly kept me in the attic, which was... well, it was quiet. I remember sometimes I could hear noises from downstairs if they were being loud enough, but usually it was quiet. I was pretty used to the smell — there was mildew, and dust, and old paper, and you know the way metal pipes smell, when they get hot? It was like that. They'd bring me down for Halloween, and then put me back up afterward. And then one Halloween, they didn't come get me, so I didn't come down that year. I know that year was definitely a new year. They didn't come get me the year after, either. Or the year after that, and that's when I started to get worried about them, so I went downstairs and I couldn't find anybody — I felt around everywhere, but all the furniture and stuff was all gone, too. Maybe they moved and forgot me?"

(Y/N): "They left you behind and you wandered into the streets?"

Mr. Headless: "Yeah. I waited around for a few weeks, and then some people opened the door to the front porch, where the candy bowl usually is? And they came in — I didn't recognize their voices, but an audience is an audience, right? So I went back downstairs from the attic, and they, well, they kind of freaked out, I guess? I mean, I'm used to hearing people scream, but not like that. One of them had a... what's it called, metal thing, you hold it in your hand and it makes a sort of pop noise and it smells all chemical, and then people get hurt?"

(Y/N): "You mean a gun?"

Mr. Headless: "One of them had a gun, which I only found out when I walked up to her and tried to feel her face — which I admit wasn't the best idea, but, well, I was kind of lonely, to be honest, and I thought maybe she might be one of the people from the family, you know? I mean, yeah, I should've asked first, but I was lonely, and I was excited that there was someone there, and I thought it was maybe somebody I knew. But it wasn't, and then there was all the screaming and the gun noises — and this was bad screaming. Not the fun kind at all, let me tell you. And then one of them was lying on the floor and smelling weird — that means he was dead, right? One of them was dead, and the others ran away. But they left the front door open, so I decided that was as good a time as any to go outside. So then I'm walking in the streets, and there's cars all around me and they're honking at each other and making all these crashing noises with glass breaking, and there were a lot of people screaming — and again, this is the bad screaming. But then I remembered there's usually a park close to the house, and I hoped that if I went there, with bushes and stuff that I could hide in, I could at least stay out of trouble. So I made it there, and I remember thinking maybe if I could get back to Doctor Wondertainment, she could fix things, help that guy from the house not be dead, figure out what went wrong, where the family went, or get somebody new to take me? And, uh, that's pretty much where you guys found me. She didn't send you, did she?"

(Y/N): "Actually it was police reports that got us to find you and I understand why you didn't stay in the attic, you don't know the outside world. You were different and people were afraid of you and not the kind at a Halloween event but really scared of a headless man on the loose."

Mr. Headless: "Yeah, that's basically my life in a nutshell."

(Y/N): "Hey can I tell you a bit about myself?"

Mr. Headless: "Sure, I think it's fair for you to share your life story."

(Y/N): "Well back when I was a kid, my brother Gary and my sister Kendyl played with toys together. Kendyl plays her dollies and treat them like they're fashion models, Gary just find ways to torture them for his own amusement even to the point of breaking them, but me I treat my toys like they have a soul of their own, Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the rest of the gang were like the role models I never had."

Mr. Headless: "What happened to them?"

(Y/N): *feels sad*"Well Gary happened, when he was a kid he was always a trouble maker. I was gonna give Woody and his gang to a new kid cause we both understand that they must carry out their wisdom and friendship to another kid. But they never got the chance when Gary had them in his hands. It was a massacre, from everyone's eyes it was just fluff and toy parts everywhere but to me it was blood and guts and not the kind you find in a human. The fluff and plastic and parts of a toy are like human body parts to me. This trauma hurt me to this day and sent my brother to Juvenile Delinquent School and a children psychiatric hospital. I still see their dead bodies in my head to this day."

Mr. Headless: "........Oh god....I'm sorry to hear that."

Mr. Headless then uses his hand to find where you are and when he touches your shoulder and then he brings you in for a hug and then from your point of view you see ghosts of Woody and the gang joining in on the hug. Meanwhile, we see Dr. Collingwood watching your interaction with Mr. Headless and she cried some tears. Back to you, we see Mr. Headless break up the hug and wipe off some tears from your eyes.

Mr. Headless: "If you really think that toys have souls then Woody and the gang are watching you from Heaven as we speak."

(Y/N): "Thanks Mr. Headless and seeing you today, made me confirm that toys do have souls. I would like to repay you for having this talk Mr. Headless. Maybe some books in braille, incense, and someone to scare?"

Mr. Headless: "Sure thing, I help you and you me. Guys like us have to stick together."

(Y/N): "Yeah. Got any requests for incense or books?"

Mr. Headless: "Something scary like a horror novel and any incense from the autumn season will do."

(Y/N): "Alright be right back and I know some guys who don't wear glasses."

You then leave the room and get the things Mr. Headless needs. Meanwhile with the researchers we see Dr. Collingwood talking to the other researchers.

Dr. Collingwood: "You should've seen him when he was talking about his toys, he treats them like they're people and his brother destroyed them. He thinks they have souls in them and meeting SCP-2287 confirms his thoughts on toys in general. It brought me to tears when he talked about it."

Dr. Buck: "People with Autism allow them to see the world differently which means he saw the toys as people."

Dr. Collingwood: "I can't believe his own brother went to a mental hospital for destroying his toys and traumatizing him."

Dr. Gears: "The poor child."

Dr. Clef: "I can't believe a kid younger than him would be so cruel."

Dr. Bright: "Yeah that's saying something considering what we do on a daily basis."

Dr. Buck: "But if he knows that the SCP foundation is not on the side of good, that would break his heart."

Dr. Bright: "So you gave him low level SCPs to work with just to avoid that from happening."

Dr. Buck: "I spoke with his therapist and she told me that he had a rough life before becoming an employee. And I will be damned if he discovers the truth about the SCP Foundation."

Dr. Bright: "You do realize that's not your call to make, it's the O5's and Administrator's decision on what he does."

Prof. Crow: "If you continue to lie to him, you are no better than the O5."

Dr. Buck: "Ugh, you're right. If he discovers what we do to maintain normalcy, I hope he will take it well."

Meanwhile we see you carrying around some Pumpkin Spice incense and a braille book of a horror novel and you are bringing along Ruby and Corey.

Ruby: "I see that you're helping an SCP out, but which one are you helping exactly?"

Corey: "Yeah tell us."

(Y/N): "It's a surprise, just follow me."

You and the others then arrive to Mr. Headless' cell and you all then see Mr. Headless.

Ruby: "Uhh......where's his head?"

Mr. Headless: "Funny, I was about to ask you guys the same question."

Then suddenly you, Corey, and Ruby's heads have disappeared from view.

Ruby: "AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! OH MY GOSH, WHERE'S MY HEAD!?!"

Corey: "THIS IS HORRIBLE, (Y/N) YOU DON'T HAVE A HEAD EITHER!!!!"

(Y/N): "Chill out guys, it's only an illusion."

Ruby: "Oh no this is not happening, this is not-"

We see both Ruby and Corey then faint onto the floor.

Mr. Headless: "Haha! Still got it!"

(Y/N): "Happy to help ya out man."*puts on your glasses and your head reappear*"And by the way I got you a scary book and some incense."*places the book and incense on the table*"Pumpkin spice and a Steven King book about the Children of the Corn written in braille."

Mr. Headless: "Thanks kid, you're alright with me."

(Y/N): "No problem, I'm gonna get someone to get Ruby and Corey to the infirmary."*pulls out a walkie talkie*"Have someone get Corey and Ruby to the infirmary at this time, they fainted in SCP-2287's containment cell."

You then leave the room and head to the mess hall on your lunch break. Meanwhile with the O5 Council we see them discussing about you.

O5–01: "This meeting of the O5 Council is called to order about the Foundation Employee known as (Y/N) Cranston."

O5-13: "What do we need to talk about?"

O5-01: "He has shown exemplary potential in his skill set on the field either as a Field Agent and a MTF soldier, we must put these to the test."

O5-07: "01, you must be joking, he's relatively new to the Foundation."

O5-01: "Do you want to see his skills in the field? If it pleases you he will be facing a dangerous SCP. If he proves himself in the field then his security clearance will be upgraded from Level 3 to Level 4."

O5-10: "01, what keter are we talking about?"

O5-01: "Your answer will be in the file folders provided to you."

The O5s then look into their file folders and they see files of Site-13.

O5-08: "Site-13 sir?"

O5-01: "He will be exploring Site-13, all in favor?"

We see O5-01, 02, 13, 12, 10, 09, 08 raise their hands.

O5-01: "All opposed?"

We see the rest of the O5 Council raise their hands.

O5-01: "Then it's settled, (Y/N) is going to Site-13. Send a message to MTF Apollo-3 commander Ross he will have a new recruit with him. Meeting adjourned."
